School is back today for most schools and the rest with be back on board tomorrow, January 24!
It’s not just the parents who are excited. There will be plenty of youngsters walking to and from school today excited about their first day. Whilst some won’t be keen on hitting the books, they will be keen to see their friends and may not be paying attention. 
Motorists are reminded that the 40 km/h school zones will operate from 7am to 9am and again from 2pm to 4pm in and around the far north area.
There are a few exceptions:
- Caravonica Primary School on the Kamerunga Western Arterial Road, Caravonica is a 60 km/h zone for those times; and
- St Augustine’s College on Scott St, Parramatta Park between Severin and Draper Street is a 40 km/h zone ALL DAY from 7am to 4pm as students frequent the crossing for classes.
Please slow down and pay attention.
Local Police will be performing high visibility patrols in school zones paying close attention to your speed, parking, stop drop and go zones and our pedestrian crossings to ensure all our little people stay safe on the roads.
For those parents heading back to school for the first time with their little ones, pack the tissues, give yourself plenty of time to get to school and pay attention to what’s happening on the road.
Enjoy your first week back at school everyone!
Pay attention at our school crossing zones!
